I get the same feeling looking at this that I do when I see the ad for the new "Alvin & The Chupmunks" movie... Equals parts horror and morbid curiosity. Will I ever watch it? Most likely not, unless I'm looking after someone's kid and that's the only thing they want to watch... Hopefully I can sneak in the dvd for "Battle Royale" instead.

Monkey's suck. They are creepy and eat bugs, and I don't like them. I'm sure they feel similarly about me. Oh except the Carry Grant film "Monkey Business" which was actually well written, played, and produced. Only someone as great as Grant could make monkey's cool. Not some asshole with Renderman experience.

This has all the artistic power of those awesome Tweety Bird shirts you see on women less adverse to Mu-Mus- the ones with Tweety's hat on backwards and arms folded with the wacky words alongside "Get Out Of My Way I'm Ready To Shop".

AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGG!!! Chimps with tude! Hideous,disgusting,vile,carnage, gore,rape,death! When will all these horrific films end. I can practically smell how this film will go. The main chimp is a loser monkey who no one takes seriously. He somehow gets chosen to go into space. All the other astrochimps think he's going to screw up. Then something bad happens and he saves the day. It may end there, but the story could continue with the loser monkey getting arrogant. Then something worse happens and he needs the whole crew to work together to save the day. Ill do some research and see if im right. P.s the dvd might come with an alternate ending. The monkeys all get transferred from NASA to experimental aids treatment. Ho Ho :D

I suppose monkeys could be funny, monkies in space maby. I know that this movie with monkeys in space will suck.The one "funny" gag in the movie will be played over and over again in the preview. My kids will want to see it so bad. If I take them to see it they will hate it because they have already seen the only "gag" 100 time on TV by the time it comes out.

I think that this movie would have been a lot eisier to make though if they didn't make the same exact main charicter 5 times. very odd.

Haha, I know some people animating on that movie. Let's just say the money was a major factor in thier decision. Cause they sure aren't there for the concept. "Come on, Chimp's in Space! It's gold, pure gold!" It's funny that everyone working on the movie knows it's going to be garbage yet it continues to be made. They keep re-writing and re-working it hoping that somehow it'll magically fix it. Hey, it worked for their last project "Happily N'ever After". That did well right? The only reason they have money to make their movies is through shady practices. They are using that German tax break loophole that Uwe Boll uses, haha.

I think the biggest problem with 3D animation is that most people going into the field has a goal to make everything as real as posible. This is fine for special effects in a live action movie but that attitude just doesn't work for fully animated cartoon. it also doen't work if you try to insert say 3d superhero dogs or musical chipmunks into a live action movie.If you look at traditional animation most animators want to make cartoons. There perception of cartoons may get a little skewed along the way but I see that as their goal. 3D animaton will never be good until they realize that photorealism is not always a good idea.

ok goddamit. CG IS A MEDIUM. A PENCIL IS TOO. i love how so many people think that theres some sort of 'make toon' button on the keyboard that makes these god awful pieces of cg tripe. its not. actual living breathing 'artists' are responsible for crafting that, just like living, homanoid 'artists' are responsible for pieces of S like Cinderella 2.

Another problem with these chimps is that they seem to me to have about as much size and weight as the toys that will invariably be sold of them, not real chimps. Compare it with our old friend Foghorn Leghorn, who seems like he has a lot of mass, a lot more than the average rooster (which are never as big as dogs, anyway!)

I believe that one of the points of still life drawing and painting is to be able to make, say, a drawing of an apple look as heavy and as round as an apple is supposed to look. I think this is a good point to make because it backs up John's continuing calls for a return to the basics.

I don't think there is enough ass in the world to liken this to.I'm each character has a celebrity voice that sounds exactly like their own voice (because why should they extend themselves for the ridiculous money they make off these things?).

You know it's funny, a studio came to my school two years ago, talking about this movie, well... they just said it's called space chimps and that "it's about chimps in space". I was beginning to think they weren't making it anymore because I had heard nothing about it since then.

I'll give it the benefit of the doubt until I see the trailer. And hey, there were chimps in space. They deserve our respect and pants.
